No problems this morning with that jet lag just working so well and waking well before the alarm. I wonder if I will need an alarm at all this week.
Today is the first day for the pre-conference classes for 2017 FDIC or Fire Department Instructors Conference. This is my third conference having attended previously in 2014 and 2015. I believe it is one of the largest if not the largest firefighting conferences in the world with 30000 attendees each year from over 50 countries.
It provides a large number of practical and theoretical pre-conference workshops for the Monday and Tuesday prior to the conference start on Wednesday. I have always taken advantage of these workshops.
Today my workshop is in the morning and is called “Think like an Incident Commander” presented by Deputy Chief Thomas Dunne from the FDNY.
It was a good workshop providing some insight into the psyche of and Incident Commander as well as practical examples of IC Operations from FDNY.
Jenny stayed back at the apartment and had some excitement of her own with some sort of incident out front with 7 police cars and 3 ambulances. Not sure what it was but someone got carted off on a stretcher.
The afternoon was perfect for exploring with sunshine and around 27C. We checked out the Garfield Park across the road. Looks like it will need a further visit on foot to grab all the geocaches if I have some time.
After some more wildlife spotting at the local Walmart we headed into the CBD of Indy to have a decent look around at the various landmarks and buildings.
